Such Is the Termination of the Pro.

at Morris, Ill.
Morris (Ill.) special. !

After trial lasting thirty days. Schwartz
and Watt have been declared by jury of
twelve good men and true guilty of the
murder of Kellogg Nichols, and their
punishment fixed at Imprisonment for life
IN the penitentiary. When the jury re-
tired, on Tuesday afternoon, it was the
general opinion that there would be dis
agreement. After seclusion of little
more than five hours word was sent to
Judge Dibell that they had reached con-
clusion. A few minutes afterward they
filed into court. When Judge Dibell said:
Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed
upon a verdict?" T.. II. Robinson, the
oldest juror on the panel, arose and handed
the verdict to the Sheriff, who passed it up
to the court. Judge Dibell scanned it, and
then read it: "We, the jury, find Newton
Watt guilty of the murder OF Kellogg
Nichols in the manner and form as charged
in the indictment, and fix his penalty at
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for the
term of his natural life" The verdict as
to Schwartz was then read. 1t finds him
also guilty in the manner and form
charged, and fixes his penalty at imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for his natural
life. Each Juror then in turn ratified the
verdict.
There was a death-like silence in the
courtroom. Watt was sitting near his
brother, with his arms resting on the table,
IT'LL gazing steadily at the jury. Schwartz
sat near his father with his hands clasped
across his breast, gazing away from the
jury, seemingly insensible to their presence

tested the slightest emotion. Watt talked
with his brother and smiled when spoken to
by his attorney. Schwartz was more serious
when his counsel approached him, but a
slight, reluctant smile gathered on his
conntenance. The Court thanked the jury
fer the attention during the trial and dis
missed them.

SPALDING's Official Base Ball Guide for

the great amount of valuable information
it contains. 1t is embellished with cuts Of
resident Spalding, M. j. Kelly, Roger
onnor, James O'Rourke, Dan Brouthers,
aud A. G. Arson. The Guide enters upon
its second decade as standard hand book
of the national game. 1t may be said to
open up a new era in the history of the
game, as il presents for the first time new
code of playing rules which govern every
professional club in the country. A feature
of the Guide for 1887 is the explanatory
appendix to each class of rules of the new
code. Another specially is the monthly
records Of the championship contests OF the
two leading organizations of the country.
THE grand stand Of the Athletic Club of

ers and the treasury has about $4,000
from which to declare dividend of 20 per

a while.
